Ivy Kombo and her husband Admire Kasi have been remanded out of custody on US$300 bail each. They are expected back in court on December 20. They stand accused of fraudulently acquiring fake certificates to practice law in Zimbabwe after obtaining Bachelor of Laws degrees in England.

They have been ordered to surrender their passports to the clerk of court as part of their bail conditions. The couple who obtained degrees in the UK had to obtain certificates of completion from the Council for Legal Education by writing and passing conversion examinations so they could practice law in Zimbabwe. The State is alleging that instead of writing the conversation examinations, the couple are said to have paid US$1 100 and got the certificates. They were later arrested.
